Krakow has a special place in Poland’s history, culture and spirit. It used to be the capital of Poland and has numerous cultural relics and national symbols. The city is listed as a World Heritage Site for its charm. Krakow, on the other hand, is also a vibrant, active and open European city.
In 1978, the Old Town of Krakow was selected as the first World Heritage Site by the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The Willitzka Salt Mine near the city is also worth visiting. If you have only one day, be sure to follow the Royal Mile through the city center. Along this road you can see Krakow’s most important historical site. All previous Polish kings have gone this way.
If you want to go to this city, you can reach it by several means of transportation. For example, after visiting Prague, tourists can go east from Prague and cross the border to reach the city of Krakow. Because it is a cross-border, so There are no direct trains in these two countries, but there is a bus company called flixbus. This bus company has a direct bus line. The price is very cheap. It can be from Prague’s Central Railway Station or Prague’s Florenc Bus Station. The station is Krakow’s MDA Central Station.
If you want to enjoy the scenery through the beautiful Czech Republic and the mountains of southern Poland during the day, you can take 9:40 in the morning, this shuttle takes 7 hours and 25 minutes, that is, 17:05 in the afternoon to reach Krakow
There is another trip that is slightly shorter than this, that is, departure from 10:00 am to Krakow at 17:05 pm, the entire ride time is 7 hours and 05 minutes.
If you want to save time, you can also book a bus that departs at 23:30 in the evening, and will arrive at 7:30 in the morning the next day
Flixbus was founded in 2011 by three young people. In 2013, FlixBus was the first bus to hit the road. In just over 3 years, it occupied nearly 90% of the market.

Krakow’s Royal Mile begins at Barbican and St. Florian’s Gate, the most beautiful remains of medieval fortifications. After passing through the gate, turn left. A few steps away is the magnificent Ulysses Slovakia Theatre, which dates back to the 19th century. There is a lovely street not far from the gate. The former Arsenal and Chertoff Museum is on this street. Next, you can walk along fashionable Florida Street to Central Market Square.
Visitors can either take a leisurely stroll or choose one of the many cafes for a cup of coffee. Surrounded by colorful townhouses and stunning artifacts. Santa Maria Cathedral has luxurious interiors and an altarpiece dating from the 15th century. It was created by Victor Staus and is a world-renowned masterpiece.
Every hour, visitors hear the sound of horns from the conical bell tower of the cathedral and travel in all directions in Krakow. This is Krakow’s sound symbol. Visitors can climb to the church bell tower or the town hall building on the market square to enjoy the magnificent views.
The textile hall is located in the heart of the square. It used to be a shopping mall but still has stalls selling tourist souvenirs. Among souvenirs, handmade silverware, amber, wood carving, glass or leather are the most commonly used. If you want to find a novel souvenir or gift, don’t miss the textile hall. An art gallery was set up on the first floor to display works by famous Polish artists. The entrance to the Underground Museum in Market Square is on the second floor. This archeological museum is equipped with multimedia displays, showing visitors an unforgettable medieval scroll. Walking on the streets around the Central Market Square, visitors can see the beautiful medieval urban layout and appreciate the fusion of various architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classical and Separatist style. All these factors work together to create a diverse, unique and harmonious whole in Krakow.
In addition to getting from Prague to this Polish town, there is a faster way, which is to take the train of the Polish National Railways directly from Warsaw to this small town in southern Poland, about two hours. For example, take the EIP train at 8:36 to reach Krakow at 10:53. The Polish National Railways has a dense departure, and about 1-2 departures occur every hour.

There are many trains from Warsaw to Krakow. I booked a direct train online in advance. It takes about two and a half hours, about 120 Polish dollars. I noticed very few passengers while riding. For less than half of the passengers in the carriage, the seats are randomly arranged. I bought a second-class seat. Print it out and take it with you. Tickets must be purchased in advance before boarding. Otherwise, it will be fined 600 Polish dollars. The radio keeps reminding you when you get on the train.

Even in the second class, the equipment is very good and the maintenance is very clean. In my opinion, the first place in European railways is the Spanish high-speed railway, and then the Polish high-speed railway.
The table is made of metal, just like Spain’s high-speed rail, is very sturdy and has a charging socket in the middle of the seat. There is also a reading light in the middle of the seat. At the top of the window is an LCD display that shows whether a seat is reserved. Those unreserved seats are free to sit down. Free Wifi when waiting at the station. Shortly after the train starts, ticket inspectors will come to check the tickets.
